Random Poll of the Day! (93)

[Yurikochan]

The dark, everyone thinks I'm part vampire, before vampires were cool.

[alicetama]

The light.

[Kor]

Spoiler:

While that is epic, I'm sure that interviewer was just like, "Great, another guy who thinks he can scare me with his supposedly homicidal tendencies.  Next!"

You might be correct, but usually, the people (like me) who come and try to show how dark they are and unfit for the army, also go later to psychiatrist and have him send a letter to the army that their patient is "unfit to serve" (to me it went smoothly due to my medical background - I'm perfectly healthy, but they wouldn't take the risk that something might happen to me)

[Akonyl]

Spoiler:

oh man you just reminded me that Dexter starts back up at the end of the month.

Fffffyes.

You've been a nice and insightful bloke from my experience. Fear not!

Spoiler:

But I will watch my back due to the enduring evil of the ":D" smiley.

I had a longer reply going here, but accidentally closed the window, so I'll just sum it up: I have great loathing for mandatory military service based on age & gender for no real reason, because not only do I disagree with the social engineering that results from it, not being able to say, "No" is just demeaning. Sure, there are some things that people should be asked for from their country in order for it to function well, but mandatory military service just based on being a male and turning a certain age is not one of them. I can make an exception for a grand conflict where the nation is in danger and service is necessary for the nation to survive, but not for much else than that. Being forced to become a pawn of the military simply because you were born somewhere and had no other choice, to me, is wrong. (I'm aware there are "alternatives" in place in some countries, but two German buddies of mine seemed to think they were hardly viable) We've seen what unquestioned adherence to authority on a wide scale has given us in history--mandatory service for no reason whatsoever is right on the way to that.

I know some people disagree, but I'm a big proponent of free choice in life and would prefer as little forced on me by the government as possible. I can accept some small things like jury duty and the like, but this--on a fundamental level--is just something I can't really accept.

oh man you just reminded me that Dexter starts back up at the end of the month.

Fffffyes.

Absolutely, absolutely. It's right around the corner, and it is gonna be gooooood. Oh, and you should check out the Comic-Con trailer if you missed it. Brilliant stuff.

I dunno if I wanna, last time when I watched the first episode of season 4 a month or so before it aired it just made the wait that much more unbearable D:

Mind blown, my good sir.

I totally remember that leaking and I thought it was fake up until a week before it actually aired. My mistake!

[PhoenixTears]

Spoiler:

Only problem I see with this is that Dexter doesn't have long hair like Kor.

I like the light when I'm inside the house/building/whatever. Outside, I prefer the dark. Voted light anyway, since it specifies 'your room'.

[Jd-]

I forgot to answer the poll! Roarz!

I prefer light, but I do prefer some things at night. It's usually much quieter and the weather is perfect more often than not during the summer. Nighttime summers are totally awesome.

[Dus]

The poll is tied!
Epic battle between Light and Dark continues.

(I like my room to be lit)

[blurfbreg]

I honestly enjoy both, but I would like light during the daytimes and no light during the nighttimes. But I chose light.

Of course, I can walk around my house with my eyes closed more or less normally...

[Eve]

Dark quiet room, where I can be myself whatever that self is it comes out in the dark apparently

[bluekaitou1412]

I choose dark. I like to think about things when it's lights out.

[KaitoGirl]

Dark, I can think about Kaitou some histories that I hope, one day, write. But sometimes I prefer light.
